The areas covered on the present symposium include geophysical investigations based on laboratory and planetary measurements impact and volcanic processes and planetary surface features and processes. The topics discussed include models of an early lunar dynamo, parameterized convection within the moon and the terrestrial planets, the bounds of the heat production rate with the moon, the shock metamorphism of granulated lunar basalt, asymmetric terracing of lunar highland craters, large impact basins on Mercury, impact melting in early lunar history, and evidence for ancient mare volcanism.
